Starting custom loop

Techen · 7 Jun 2014 at 22:32

Heya guys, I've bought a XSPC D5 Photon 170 Reservoir/Pump Combo. Heard the pump was quite good and for a starter custom loop was a good deal!

I've used cosairs sealed units for awhile and love them, But I want to cool my GPU as well as CPU and get the lowest temps as possible. Anyway, With that ordered, I'll need:

Tubing
Fittings
Rads
CPU Block
GPU Block
Fluids

Anything am missing? I have a fan control unit already.

My case below : Or half of it

That's basically all you need to buy

Quick question. How often must you replace UV fluids? Cheers

I have had a UV dye in a system that is now 4yrs old, and it is still glowing. Though the tubing has clouded up some.

If you are planning on draining the system at some stage, you might consider buying a 1/4 turn valve and installing a drain point low down in the system. I don't bother myself, but I could imagine it would make life so much easier come fluid refresh or flush out time..
